Carlsberg Malaysian Open
FINAL RESULT: 0-2-0; -3.70pts
Lafeber/Fasth LOST by 6
McGinley/Fasth LOST (tied)
What a frustrating event. These two matches were very close throughout,
but too close in the only match that didn't have a dead-heat rule to
decide on ties. Could have had a decent profit from Malaysia, but
instead got a total blank.
Matchup plays (1pt unless stated):
Maarten Lafeber to beat Niclas Fasth -120 @
Centrebet
Opposing Fasth won for the first time in five years last week; just
expecting a negative reaction this week. He has never played on this
course previously and his record in Malaysia is also one reason to
oppose him: he has played here twice, missing the cut once and finishing
63rd the other time. No comparison with Lafeber who finished 7th on this
course in 2001 and has a very good record in this region in general.
(also available at Paddy Power and Pinnacle)
Paul McGinley to beat Niclas Fasth -125 @
BlueSq
and BetFred [2pts]
The same goes for McGinley. Since 1997, he has played on this course
four times and in Malaysia six times and his worst finish has been 21st.
He showed good form last at Pebble Beach and while he is an unlikely
winner, he is far too consistent for Fasth in a matchup in this region.
